Yes - We encourage reservations (especially weekends and holidays), but we always hold space for walk‑ins. The Puka Lounge has plenty of bar seating, plus four two‑tops and a six‑top available without reservations. Reserve online for up to 12 guests through OpenTable or by calling (530) 544-6100. For larger parties (15+), we request a credit card hold and offer our large party menu.

For groups under 15, there is no cancellation fee. We simply ask for the courtesy of a heads‑up if your plans change.

Absolutely - we love being part of your special moments. For groups over 15, please visit our banquet page, or contact us directly at info@kalanis.com and we’ll work with you to create something memorable, whether it be a special lunch, brunch, or dinner.

We don’t enforce a dress code — think “Tahoe resort casual.” Come as you are, dressed to enjoy a wonderful evening with us.

You're welcome to bring your own celebratory cake (a $2 per person cake-cutting fee applies) or a special bottle of wine (a $25 corkage fee per bottle).

We love to make your moments shine! For birthdays and special events, we offer a complimentary dessert to sweeten your celebration. For anniversaries or even a wedding proposal, we'd be honored to offer a champagne toast to mark your joyous occasion.

We're proud to be a part of the South Lake Tahoe community. Locals (with valid ID) and Marriott guests (with room key) receive a 10% discount on food. It's our way of saying mahalo (thank you) for your support!
